About this event
Doors: 7pm / Gig: 9:30pm-12:30am Happy Hour: 7-9pm BOOK A VIP STAGE-SIDE TABLE (£10pp) BOOK AN ENTRANCE-SIDE TABLE (£7pp) Booking a table is recommended, but you can just turn up if you’re happy standing (free). For bookings of 9+ guests, or if you’d prefer a phone reservation, call 0161 273 5495 (10am-5pm Mon-Fri) / 0161 831 7002 (5-11pm Mon-Sat). Hijack Horns grabs a fist full of feel-good tunes, a handful of high-energy brass, throws it all in a blender and serves you the spiciest, brassyest smoothie your aural tastebuds can handle. Made up of players from long established street bands who are no strangers to the impromptu alfresco rave, this new band squashes the punch of a much bigger outfit into a slinky 5-piece. Powered by their perennial appetite to bring the party to the people, the Hijack Horns philosophy is simple - life's too short to watch other people dance. Hijack Horns uphold a strict "All Killer, No Filler" policy, with classics from Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Curtis Mayfield through to The Human League, Fatboy Slim and Outkast. *VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Standing audience members are kept in the bar area for Set 1, then the dance floor (in front of the stage-side tables) opens up for Sets 2 and 3.

This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other Manchester rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (music) in Manchester. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
